Lewis University Airport

I’d never thought to write a review of an airport before, but after visiting here last summer for a vintage WWII airplane expo, I thought it might be worth my while.
Now, as far as small town airports go, I suppose this is as ordinary as any. Parking is available, but not clear as to what is Public/​Private. But once I left my truck behind, my experience really «took off» (sorry).
Every Labor Day weekend, they hold a vintage plane event with privately owned fighter/​trainer planes and my favorite, a B-​17 «Flying Fortress» Bomber (the type used in the movie «the Memphis Belle»), in which you can book a flight… if you’re rich, that is. (@ $ 400.00 for a 20 minute journey) A little too steep for me, so I simply enjoyed experiencing the history that lay before me, took a few pics and then went on my way.
If you enjoy this kind of stuff and find yourself in the area, stop by… it’s not a bad way to spend a Holiday morning.
